Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí

Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí

Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí is a medium-sized town in northeastern Costa Rica. The major sources of revenue in the area are agriculture (pineapple, bananas, sugar cane, and cattle) and tourism. There are a number of hotels and tourist lodges in the vicinity, as well as the more research-oriented La Selva Biological Station. Puerto Viejo is home to three banks, three supermarkets, a clinic, and a number of small family-owned businesses ranging from bakeries to beauty parlors.There are also several internet cafès boasting high speed internet and in one case airconditioning.

The natural beauty and biodiversity of the area, situated in the Caribbean lowlands, make it a favorite site for ecotourists and birdwatchers. However, tourists planning to visit Costa Rica should note that there are two towns called Puerto Viejo in this general region, and buses for both leave from the same terminal (Transportes Caribeños) in downtown San José. If you want to visit the beach, make sure your ticket is for Puerto Viejo de Limón.
